If you are looking for a place in Lagos that combines a bit of "soft life" with the typical Lagos hustle, Lakowe is one of those places people are talking about. Known popularly for its high-end golf resort, Lakowe has grown from being just a small village along the road to a major residential and commercial hub in the Ibeju-Lekki axis.
Whether you are planning to move to the area, visiting a friend, or going for a weekend getaway at the Lakowe Lakes Golf & Country Estate, you need to know how to get there without stress. In this guide, we will break down the location, the local government, and the best ways to "enter bus" to Lakowe from different parts of Lagos State.
Lakowe is located along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. It is situated deep within the "New Lagos" corridor, which is currently seeing a lot of construction and development. Geographically, Lakowe falls under the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area (LGA).
The area is bordered by other fast-growing towns. If you are coming from the Ajah axis, you will pass places like Sangotedo, Abijo, and Awoyaya before you reach Lakowe. If you go further down from Lakowe, you will head towards Bogije, Eleko, and eventually Epe town. The terrain is mostly flat, though some parts can be prone to minor flooding during heavy Lagos rains if the drainage is blocked.
When you tell a conductor you are "dropping" at Lakowe, they usually know where you mean, but these landmarks help you stay sure of your movement:
Getting to Lakowe is straightforward because it lies directly on the main expressway that connects Lekki to Epe. Depending on where you are coming from, here is how to navigate the trip:
From CMS or Obalende, you can find "big buses" (LT) or Coaster buses heading to Ajah. When you get to Ajah, you will need to take another bus heading towards Epe and tell the conductor you will "drop" at Lakowe bus stop.
At Oshodi, look for buses going to Ajah. Once you reach Ajah under-bridge, cross over to the side where buses are heading towards Ibeju-Lekki or Epe. Enter those ones and alight at Lakowe.
If you are coming from the Epe end, just enter any bus going to Ajah or CMS. Lakowe is about 20-30 minutes away from Epe, depending on the speed of the driver and traffic at the T-junction.
Transport fares in Lagos change based on the time of day, the weather (rain), and the "mood" of the fuel price. Here are the estimated ranges for public transport:
| Route | Transport Mode | Fare Range (₦) |
|---|---|---|
| Ajah to Lakowe | Yellow Bus (Danfo) | ₦400 - ₦700 |
| CMS to Lakowe (One Way) | Coaster Bus / Danfo | ₦1,200 - ₦1,800 |
| Large Bus (BRT/LT) + Danfo | ₦1,500 - ₦2,200 | |
| Epe to Lakowe | Yellow Bus (Danfo) | ₦600 - ₦1,000 |
To get a direct bus or a comfortable ride to the Lakowe axis, these are the best places to board:
1. Avoid Rush Hour: The Lekki-Epe Expressway can be a nightmare between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM. If you are going to Lakowe, try to leave early or wait until the traffic clears.
2. Hold Change: Lagos conductors often have "no change" issues. Try to carry ₦100 and ₦200 notes to avoid "joining" with other passengers.
3. Identify Your Junction: Lakowe has a main bus stop. If you are going to the Golf Estate, you might need to take a local shuttle or a "Keke" from the junction to the estate gate.
Lakowe is under the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos State.
The fare typically ranges between ₦400 and ₦700 depending on the time of day and type of bus.
Yes, Lakowe is further down the Lekki-Epe Expressway. You will pass Sangotedo, Abijo, and Awoyaya before reaching Lakowe.
